getting to know your grandparents


To preserve the family history several questions have to be asked. Questions to ask the oldest member of your family, such as a grandfather, grandmother, great grandfather, or great grandmother. You could ask them things like, who is the oldest member of the family they remember, what type of person were they when they were younger, what type of occupation did they have when they were younger, and what are some of their greatest accomplishments. Its very important to connect with your elderly relatives because their day are limited and you would hate to have to watch them go, without knowing anything about them, you would be very regretful. Also when you get to know your grandparents (or whoever you are connecting with) you are bonding with them, and when you understand where you have came from, you begin to self reflect about the characteristics you posses. You could also ask them how many kids they have or had, what dreams did they have when they were younger, were they good or bad when they were younger, and were they ever married before if so when? I believe that you could also ask general question (just to get to know them more) like what is their favorite color, what is their favorite sport, if they could travel anywhere, where would they go, what do they picture paradise looking like, what is their favorite food, when is their birthday (if you did not already know that), do they like music, what type of music do they listen to, and do they like the things that play on the radio now?
